Now it's 7767 with EMS equivalent. That's nice. With the price drop, I decided to cancel my HLJ order and get both of my VF-1D's from Amazon JP.... which made shipping a bit cheaper per toy. Including shipping, average cost was 7,467 yen per toy bundled together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I have heard a lot of horrible stories I didn't want to believe until I did place an order myself and went into a hell with their customer service. Putting nin-nin in your short list, and because they have the lowest price, seems like this is a recommended store. IT ISN'T!

From searching on MWF, it seems that while a few people have successfully ordered from Nin-Nin-Games in the past, more people have had some form of complaint against them. Admittedly, I did debate whether to put Nippon-Yassan under this category, given the huge number of complaints that arose from the VF-31A debacle. But, since as of 5 AM here in Boston, there has yet to be a listing on Nippon-Yassan for the VF-1D, so I don't have to worry about that for now.

The price disparity should actually be less wide, if you account for shipping. I ordered 2 from Amazon JP. With their only shipping option to the U.S. (3 - 5 day estimate), my total is 14,934 yen. If I ordered 2 from NY using JP Post Airmail (10 - 20 day estimate), the total is 14,385 yen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
